If you train a LLM to compile, you probably also want to set the randomness to zero, if that is the case you’ve just “brute forced” an actual compiler

you don't want a creative compiler?
In this specific use case I think we should avoid any creative aspect in the behavior of the LLM. Compiling might look like a "word-for-word" translation in a certain manner. Isn't it ?
I see no inherent conflict between creativity and determinism. You could give the compiler a seed value to perturbate the solution space.
Why vote down a rhetorical question?
